Climb For Cancer - Team Interviews
More than 60 researchers have joined us the past 2 years for our Climb For Cancer campaign. This year we interviewed a few teams about their research work, why they are prepared to climb 810 stairs and what their lab groups do with the money raised by the Mater Foundation.
The Intern Series
As part of the Queensland University of Technology's Creative Industries internship program, Carly Booth joined our Communications and Marketing Team at TRI for a 100 hour internship to complete her dual degree. Carly is studying both a Bachelor of Media and Communication and a Bachelor of Nutrition Science to qualify her for a 'bridge' career in science communication. TRI Social Media Club member and Princess Alexandra Hospital clinician Dr Ingrid Hickman is an Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian and Clinician Researcher looking to increase her experience in science communication, so we collaborated on a podcast series using Carly's unique knowledge of both communication and nutrition science. Below we feature episodes recorded by Carly and Ingrid during the 100 hour internship which took place in September and October 2016.
